An illustration of Java source code with prologue comments indicated in red and inline comments in green. Program code is in blue.. In computer programming, a comment is a human-readable explanation or annotation in the source code of a computer program.
JSDoc differs from Javadoc, in that it is specialized to handle JavaScript's dynamic behaviour. [1] An early example using a Javadoc-like syntax to document JavaScript was released in 1999 with the Netscape/Mozilla project Rhino, a JavaScript run-time system written in Java. It included a toy "JSDoc" HTML generator, versioned up to 1.3, as an ...
A snippet of JavaScript code with keywords highlighted in different colors. The syntax of JavaScript is the set of rules that define a correctly structured JavaScript program. The examples below make use of the log function of the console object present in most browsers for standard text output.
Like raw strings, there can be any number of equals signs between the square brackets, provided both the opening and closing tags have a matching number of equals signs; this allows nesting as long as nested block comments/raw strings use a different number of equals signs than their enclosing comment: --[[comment --[=[ nested comment ...
Toward this end, this WikiProject identifies, gathers, and rates all articles about JavaScript. It also identifies, gathers, and creates redirects to all article sections about JavaScript (for example, the links Comment (JavaScript) and Comments in JavaScript redirect to Comment (computer programming)#JavaScript). In addition, we identify gaps ...
There are two types of "conditional comments": downlevel revealed, and downlevel hidden. The basic syntax of each type of comment is shown in the following table. The first comment shown is the basic HTML Comment, which is included for the purpose of comparison and to illustrate the different syntax used by each type of conditional comment.
(In JavaScript code, anything that begins with double slashes is a comment. You'll see the "User scripts" comment, as shown in Figure 21-1.) Add an edit summary (like Creating initial page), preview the page (to reinforce the habit), and then save the page.
In programming, a docstring is a string literal specified in source code that is used, like a comment, to document a specific segment of code.Unlike conventional source code comments, or even specifically formatted comments like docblocks, docstrings are not stripped from the source tree when it is parsed and are retained throughout the runtime of the program.
